Re: Cryostatis: The Sleep of Reason

i am not interested in the scores but gamespot says it has a nice chilling story and ign says the story is incomplete.
whoever has completed it kindly clear it.
 
Raped my previous system left right and center! Did not bother beyond 10~15 minutes.

Btw did you give up on Call of Pripyat?

Actually i tried to find some weapon mods for it unable to find one.I decided to try the weapon mod of soc.Thus messed up and the single player refuses to start.Therefore i had to uninstall it.will install it again after i try some other titles.

Anyways it seems this game is badly optimized.
 
Its strange that guys who have completed stalker didnt liked this game.i am almost towards the end.Last few chapters remaining.Till now the game has managed to keep me hooked up.It is quite different from the conventional horror/shooters out there.
The way the story has been told is quite innovative.I will post the final impressions after i finish it.
 
The only thing that kept me off was the horrid performance on my previous comp. Else I'd have played the game. I tend not to miss out on a survival horror title. :P

How was the boat ride? ;)

Genre :-Fps/horror/psychological
total time on normal difficulty:-around 10hrs

Now does a developer makes the game or does the game makes a developer? The question is surely debatable but its not which bothers me here.For me i only know that this game would have lifted 1c games at a greater height had it not been for some irritating flaws.

Some general insights

STORY
A chilling incident has taken place in arctic.Which made a nuclear ice breaker ship called North Wind stagnant.In other words it is shipwrecked.The year is 1968.what happened to the ship members or the ship?

Now 1981 you Alexander Nesterov,is a Russian meteorologist.Who goes to find out through what horrible situations these crew members went and what ultimately happened to them.More will be revealed later.

GAMEPLAY

Quite innovative.you have to find heat source obviously to keep you on your feet.Therefore heat replenishes your health here.Initially you are not given any kind of fire arms.You get fire arms after few initial chapters.
Ammo will be limited for next few chapters but still if you use the gun judiciously you wont have any problem.But later in the levels you will get plenty of ammo.

Mental echo:- The best part of the game.You will be able to access the memory of the dead ship members and rectify their mistakes.This plays a major part in the story progression.

VISUALS

Atmosfear 2.0 engine is awesome and awful at the same time.Awesome because you will be able to feel the chills of the arctic when you get immersed in the game or the ingame atmosfear.

Awful because this is the major let down or flaw in this game.The fps fluctuates now and then.More irritating it also freezes frequently.The game is not properly optimized.

What distinguishes this game

Please note that this game is not like any other conventional shooters out there.It is completely different and this is where it makes a huge impact.

Story handling:-The story has been presented transcendentally! Never in any other game i have experienced this.The story is presented in bits through other characters memory,through the wrecked ship's captain's notes and through another story with a different protagonist which co-relates to the ongoing one.
It does not follow a linear path like other games.Here the story makes several jumps.Dont worry there is more to it which cannot be explained here as it will act as a spoiler.:D If you have seen the movie memento then imagine something like that here.:D

Please note that i repeat the story is quite mature and taxes your mind.If you are not paying attention from the start itself to the game then you are bound to remain befuddled at the end.

Gameplay mechanicsThis game is a perfect example of how to concoction gameplay with the story.Both are interdependent which gives an amazing experience.Like there is a level at the nuclear reactor chamber in the ship in flashback where you have nothing to do but follow some orders.Here you get some answers for this present condition and also enjoy doing the tasks because they are quite interesting.

It will give you a perfect cinematic experience.
Best if played in any chilling winter season.:D

Atlast i would only say that for this game i cannot agree with IGN and i will side with gamespot.

For stalkers fans if they ask if we will miss anything if we skip this game then i would say.Yes you will miss a colossal experience.Or a classic title.
